Large garden, motorway links and strong rental potential for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain-free and vacant, sold via Modern Method of Auction
Set on a mid-terrace street in Higher Croft, this three-bedroom freehold home is offered chain-free and vacant, sold via the Modern Method of Auction. The property presents comfortable living across about 1,114 sq ft with gas central heating, double glazing, and a large enclosed rear garden — traits that suit first-time buyers or landlords seeking straightforward rental stock.
The interior has been largely updated with modern décor throughout the main living spaces, including a lounge/diner, kitchen and a ground-floor WC. Upstairs are three well-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Practical benefits include off-street parking and quick access to junctions 5 and 6 of the M65, Blackburn Hospital, and local rail and retail facilities.
Buyers should note a few material points: the entryway and timber staircase show mid-century wear and will need updating; the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels; and the sale will proceed at auction, so timescales are shorter than a standard sale. EPC rating is C and council tax band A (very low running costs).
Overall this property offers immediate occupancy and decent rental or owner-occupier potential at a low entry price. It’s well-located for commuting and local services, but buyers seeking a quieter, lower-crime neighbourhood or a fully finished interior should factor in modest remedial and cosmetic work.
